Welcome back, AI’ers!

Monday’s Top Story: Over the weekend, The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation that could lead to a ban on TikTok in the United States.

The legislation stipulates that ByteDance (TikTok's parent company) must sell TikTok within a specified timeframe—270 days with a possible extension of 90 days by the President—if it fails to do so, TikTok could be banned from U.S. app stores.

President Joe Biden has indicated that he would sign the bill into law if it passes through Congress, further increasing the stakes for TikTok.

AI IN THE NEWS

Nothing x ChatGPT

Nothing is integrating ChatGPT into their earbuds, enabling users to interact with the AI via pinch-to-speak functionality on their Nothing earbuds, starting with the rollout on Nothing Phone 2.

📫️ The details:

• The integration allows users to access ChatGPT directly through Nothing OS on Nothing Phone 2, with subsequent updates for Phone 1 and Phone 2A.

• Users can interact with ChatGPT by pinching their earbuds, which activates the AI, enhancing the hands-free experience.

• Additional features include system-level ChatGPT access points in Nothing OS, such as screenshot sharing and custom widgets.

🧠 Our thoughts:

We’ve heard of Nothing and don’t know anyone who owns the phone or headphones.

However, we think it’s an exciting idea to integrate ChatGPT into earbuds. It makes it more accessible.

We wouldn’t be surprised if Apple followed suit.

Google is changing things up…

Google has announced a significant reorganization of its company structure, focusing on enhancing its AI capabilities to stay competitive in the industry.

📫️ The details:

• Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and its parent company Alphabet Inc., revealed the restructuring in a blog post.

• The reorganization involves consolidating the AI-focused teams from Google's Research and DeepMind units.

• This strategic move is aimed at streamlining efforts and fostering more innovative AI developments within the company.

🧠 Our thoughts:

By merging these key teams, Google aims to boost efficiency and innovation—cough, cough—search Generative Experience (SGE).

It’s clear that SGE, which uses AI to pull relevant content to the top of search results, will continue to wreak havoc.

AI voice cloning is the new hack of choice…

Hackers recently targeted a LastPass employee using the cloned voice of the CEO, Karim Toubba, in an advanced social engineering attack involving AI-generated deepfake audio.

📫️ The Details:

• The cybercriminals employed AI algorithms to create a convincing audio deepfake of Toubba, attempting to coerce the employee through fake WhatsApp messages and calls.

• This incident marks a concerning trend where sophisticated impersonation techniques, once the domain of nation-state actors, are now accessible to broader criminal elements.

• LastPass has experienced several security breaches in recent years, making it a repeated target for fraudsters using increasingly advanced tactics.

🧠 Our thoughts:

This incident underscores the growing threat of AI-powered fraud in cybersecurity, highlighting the need for enhanced vigilance and advanced security protocols in businesses.

With tools like Eleven Labs making it easier than ever to clone a voice, voice cloning will continue to cause havoc on people and businesses.

You have to stay aware of the AI technologies and schemes out there.

If a call sounds suspicious, it probably is.

Look out for long delays or inconsistencies in pitch and tonality. If you’re unsure if a call is fake, hang up and call the person back.

✨ A24 x AI Movie Posters

Can you tell if these images are AI-generated?

A24 is under fire for allegedly using AI-generated Civil War ads.

Even if they did, we don’t see the big deal. Every ad or movie poster has been altered in some way…Photoshop has been around since 1987.

However, some argue that this incident really shines a light on how AI is changing the game in creative industries, stirring up some serious ethical questions, especially about transparency and the risk of misleading audiences.

This whole situation also taps into wider worries about how AI might affect the authenticity and integrity of the film industry.

What do you think? Is this a big deal?

PROMPT OF THE DAY

"Blue Ocean Strategy is a business strategy framework that suggests creating new market spaces or "blue oceans" rather than competing in existing market spaces or "red oceans".

Understand clearly about the blue ocean strategy, now I'II give the [business].

Business: a fast food chain

Apply this strategy for the [business] to

1. create new markets or uncontested market space, making the competition irrelevant.

and in the end, give a before and after analysis of the business in a tabular format."
